“We’ll be doing everything we can to quickly address any problems that arise, to take preventative action wherever possible, and make sure that our customers are given good quality information. “That’s why, along with our colleagues at Network Rail Scotland, we’re working flat out to keep rails and train wheels clean to help minimise the impact the autumn weather has on our customers’ journeys. “Last year we significantly reduced autumn-related delays for our customers and we are determined to continue to improve performance across Scotland’s Railway this autumn too.”ĭavid Simpson, ScotRail operations director, said: “Each autumn, the weather creates challenging and difficult conditions across Scotland’s Railway as leaves fall on the line and make the rails dangerously slippy, and this year is no different.

The rail track is interchangeable with other Thomas tracks which makes it easy to add other tracks as you go for hours of fun.

There is also a green cover for a train stop for parts as there are no supporting beams. Some of the track indicates Playrail from the Thomas line of its predecessor.

“We will be deploying special treatment trains to clean rails throughout autumn and have additional engineers ready to respond to problems as the occur.

Liam Sumpter, Network Rail Scotland route director, said: “Leaves on the line can pose a real danger to the safe operation of the railway – affecting a train’s wheels in a similar way to how black ice affects your car – and our teams will be working around-the-clock to make sure we keep passengers moving safely this autumn. Over 110 locations on the network now have special ‘traction gel applicators’ installed, which will help train wheels to keep their grip on the tracks alongside teams of leaf-busting engineers who can quickly handle problem sites.Įngineers in depots will also be working to clear leaf debris from train wheels whilst Scotlands Railway’s control room will use specialised weather reports to locate precise conditions which will impact on leaf fall and pushing resources to where they are most needed.
